Er is een nieuwe generatie ontmoetingsplekken aan het ontstaan die Huizen van de Wijk worden genoemd en die ‘nieuw welzijn proof’ zijn. Wat is hier zo nieuw aan? Gemeenten en welzijnsorganisaties zijn veelal initiator en sociale professionals moeten er nog altijd de boel bij elkaar houden.

Factsheet RUIT-4. In het tweede onderzoek in het kader van RUIT-4 (studiejaar 2015-2016) werden de effecten onderzocht van de wijziging van de leeftijdgrens in de drank- en horecawet 2014 in gemeentes Almere, Huizen en Zeist. 90 Tweedejaars studenten Integrale Veiligheidskunde hebben in groepjes van 4 studenten enquêtes afgenomen bij jongeren. De inhoud en formulering van de enquête is vooraf afgestemd met de gemeenten die hebben meegedaan aan het onderzoek. Alle studenten hebben dezelfde vragenlijst gebruikt. Vervolgens is de informatie uit deze vragenlijst verwerkt in SPSS. Daarnaast is er een deskresearch gedaan om informatie over de gemeenten, de nieuwe wetgeving en de achterliggende theorie in kaart te brengen. Tot slot werden er ter aanvulling werden enkele gesprekken gevoerd met professionals uit het veld (zoals kroegeigenaren, medewerkers van jongerencentra etc., die een beeld zouden kunnen hebben van het drinkgedrag van jongeren). De uitkomsten van de enquête staan beschreven in de factsheet.

Veel Nederlandse gemeenten willen bedrijventerreinen herontwikkelen zodat ook daar huizen gebouwd worden. Ondernemers zijn bezorgd, wat zij zien dat er steeds minder ruimte overblijft voor hen. "Loodgieter en autogarages worden de stad uitgeduwd." Door de wooncrisis groeit de druk op gemeenten om snel extra huizen te bouwen. Omdat ruimte vaak schaars is, kijken gemeenten voor hun nieuwe woningbouwplannen vaak naar bedrijventerreinen aan de rand van de stad. Ondernemersorganisatie VNO-NCW waarschuwt dat door die transformatie van bedrijventerreinen veel ruimte voor ondernemers verloren gaat.

De komende 25 jaar zijn in Nederland een miljoen nieuwe woningen nodig. Dat kan op een duurzame manier. Benut de leegstand en laat weilanden en natuur met rust. Tot 2040 moeten er in Nederland een miljoen woningen bij komen, volgens recente studies van het Centraal Planbureau (Nederland in 2030 en 2050) en het Economisch Instituut voor de Bouw (Investeren in Nederland).

De één vindt een enkele huisvlieg al een plaag, de ander vindt het pas irritant als er meer dan tien in de woonkamer vliegen. De tolerantie voor insecten in huis speelt een belangrijke rol bij de bestrijding ervan. Het bepaalt of de aanwezigheid van insecten wordt getolereerd of niet. Als dat niet het geval is, wordt overgegaan op bestrijding. Maar welke factoren zijn nu eigenlijk van invloed op het tolerantieniveau? Om dat te bepalen is een enquête uitgevoerd onder 270 personen in Nederland. Daarbij zijn zeven insecten die regelmatig in woningen worden aangetroffenmet elkaar vergeleken.

The aim of this report is to give an overview of current state of the art in the occurrence and policies regarding affordable age-friendly and eco-friendly solutions in the partner countries. The report consists of the findings from the literature review, the comparative analysis and the reporting of good practices. It aims for the consortium as a whole to gain an understanding of the state of the art and on affordable age and eco-friendly solutions in partner countries and particularly the home and community fields, and to present that knowledge in the form of a written report. The literature review, the analysis of barriers and facilitators, and the survey on existing or even planning good practices in the project countries, will help the partners to build and update a strong knowledge base in these fields. To be closer to the practical issues that define the adaptability of eco and age-friendly solutions in community, the consortium decided to use mostly grey literature and websites for tools and advice, such as governmental pages. Common grey literature publication types include reports (annual, research, technical, project, etc.), working papers, government documents, white papers and evaluations, which will help all partners to reach conclusions around the common field between age and eco-friendly developments. Barriers and facilitators found in each project country will be used for stipulating the right consequence of actions needed, to propose a sound methodology that could – in combination with other actions and stakeholders – promote the implementation of age and eco-friendly principles into the public and private sphere of care for older people. Finally, the selection of good representative practices by each project country can be the basis for a report, and a publication, that depicts the level of maturity and progress of the notions of age-friendliness and eco-friendliness, as well as their impact on the care of older people.

The economic recession has hit especially hard the residential building sector in the EU region, e.g., the number of the housing completions has decreased -49% and the total residential output has been squeezed down by -24% between 2007 and 2014 (Euroconstruct, 2015). In turn, the aim of our paper is to suggest a set of radical, novel programmes for developing the national residential building sectors within EU member countries up to 2025. We have applied the framework of strategic niche management (SNM) to the diagnoses of the current portfolios of the innovation, R&D programs in our two member country contexts. In the case of the Northern Finland, the prime example is Hiukkavaara, the largest district to be built in the City of Oulu. Homes will be constructed for 20,000 new residents. Hiukkavaara is a model for climate- conscious design in the northern hemisphere. Energy and materials are conserved, nature is valued and human beings adapt to their environment. One sub-programme involves Future Buildings and Renewable Energy Project. In the case of the Netherlands, the prime example is Energiesprong (Energy Leap), i.e., the innovation programme commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior. The aim is to make buildings energy-neutral and boost large-scale initiatives. The sub-programmes are targeting homes owned by housing associations, privately owned homes, office buildings, shops and care institutions. This programme is about ensuring new supply by encouraging companies to package a variety of technical sub-solutions, full services and financing options as well as about asking clients to put out tenders and ask for quotes in novel ways, with the government making changes to the rules and the regulations. Experiences on which the Dutch case in this paper focuses are sub-programmes for residential buildings, which include de Stroomversnelling, LALOG and Ons Huis Verdient Het. Based on the emerging Finnish and Dutch evidence, we are suggesting key elements to be incorporated into future national residential programmes within EU member countries on: (1) radical direction with balanced stakeholder groups, trustworthy advocates, contextual goal-setting and barriers management, (2) radical networking with entrepreneurial roles and causal links, novel expertise, transparent choices and digital platforms and (3) radical learning processes to arrive at better informed markets on user preferences, co-innovating, new rules and regulations, higher performance/price ratios, higher quality, new roles and responsibilities assignments.

Poster presentatie op conferentie Background: Assessments of functional communication skills of children with cerebral palsy (CP), classified with the Communication Function Classification System (CFCS), often differ between the child's school teacher and the speech language therapist (SLT). Assessment by the SLT is usually based on observations in a clinical setting, which may not be representative of the functional communication skills in daily life. This study evaluated the inter-rater agreement of the CFCS assessed by the school teacher and SLT before and after observation of a communicative situation in the classroom. Methods: Functional communication of 35 children with CP (4 to 18 years; 26 with Alternative and Augmentative Communication, AAC) was classified by the own SLT and teacher using the CFCS. SLT's performed two assessments: the first without additional instructions and the second after observation of the child during a communicative situation in the classroom. For both assessments of the SLT inter-rater agreement on CFCS-level between SLT and teacher was determined using Cohen's weighted kappa statistics. Results: For the whole group, inter-rater reliability was 0.6 before observation in de classroom and 0.7 after observation. In the group without AAC weighted K was 0.67 for both assessments. In the group with AAC weighted K increased from 0.2 to 0.61. Interpretation The increased inter-rater agreement of CFCS classification between teacher and SLT after observation in the classroom, especially for children with AAC, emphasizes the need for professionals to base their CFCS assessment on observation of functional communication in everyday situations.

The need of an adaptive sustainable solution for the increased land scarcity, growing urbanization, climate change and flood risks resulted in the concept of the floating urbanization. In The Netherlands this new type of housing attracted the interest of local authorities, municipalities and water boards. Moreover, plans to incorporate floating houses in the urban planning have already been developed. However, the knowledge gap regarding the potential effect on the water quality halts the further development of the floating houses. This paper shows the results of a water quality measurement campaign, as part of the national program “Knowledge for climate”, at a small floating houses project in Delft and serves as a case study for addressing the environmental-ecological knowledge gap on this topic.
